Bosnia unearths 3 new war victim bodies from mass grave

BELGRADE, Serbia

Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday unearthed three more bodies of war victims from a mass grave near the city of Mostar.

The Institute of Missing Persons said that the bodies found in Medjine, were transferred to the Sutina City Cemetery in Mostar for medical and forensic processing, and bone samples were collected to identify the victims with DNA analysis.

The excavations were followed by the Prosecutor's Office upon the directives of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Court.

It was also noted that the excavation work in this area will continue next week.

More than 100,000 people lost their lives, and around 2 million people were forced to migrate in the Bosnian War that began on March 1, 1992, and lasted until Dec. 14, 1995.

Bosnia-Herzegovina suffered great pain during its independence war, including the siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica genocide, Europe's worst atrocity since World War II.
